Cultural diversity is being celebrated at the Carousel of Nations Multicultural Festival at the Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre’s Black Box Theatre Saturday (June 14).

The event, which runs from noon-6 p.m., will highlight performances by various cultures, ethnicities, abilities, ages, races, sub-cultures and religions.

The annual event is organized by the Carousel of Nations Multicultural Association, an organization dedicated to addressing and preventing racial discrimination through multicultural arts programming.
